That trade was a bust from the start. Even DRC (who played pretty well for AZ) was a bust in Philly. Hopefully they both find success (more DRC than Kolb) with new teams next season.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 21:36:37 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817239#comment-2401303Good for Kolb. The Cards are my second team, but after Boldin asked for a raise after out-playing his contract and the Cards responded by reminding him that he signed a contract, I love to see Kolb hit them back the same way. You reap what you sow.

I have never been a Kolb fan. I was always optimistic, but I didn’t feel he had actually done anything to deserve what AZ traded away for him, nor the amount of money they inked him to. I get how bad the offensive line was, and I hope that Kolb gets a good chance with a good team, but I am not really sad to see him go. Granted, I don’t think Stanton is exactly an “upgrade”, but at least I don’t have to worry about the Cardinals continuing to back a big investment. Now they are free to pursue a long-term solution.

That being said its over now and AZ has payed for the Graves Wiz mistake. The only way AZ moves on is end the Graves Wiz era and cut Kolb start over. That appears to be what is happening. Stanton Hoyer are not the Answer but serviceable stop gap for the future QB. Fine lets address the offensive line in the draft finally and add a running back and safety and tight end and get going.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:36:25 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817239#comment-2400826So is PFT going to add Kolb to the big list of unrestricted free agents? I know you’ve only got one hundred, but I’m interested to see where you’d put him.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:32:45 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817239#comment-2400813Sometimes players are wise to become a free agent rather than take a pay cut. Sometimes players aren’t when they find out the market isn’t as inviting as they thought.

I’m not sure there are many GMs left that are willing to delude themselves into thinking Kolb can win football games. Best case he’s another Charlie Batch or David Carr and will spend the next decade holding a clipboard.

Cardinals invest in Kolb-Bust
Cardinals-new HC as well and starting over

—————————————————-
Great point! I guess this was the most publicized, non-impactful trade of all time. Nobody gained a single thing with all the “big” names involved.

There’s nothing left to see here.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:10:06 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817239#comment-2400722You guys forget that the Cards were 4-0 out of the gate with Kolb, he got injured in the first game against my Hawks (he was killing us until then, we were lucky the game was so close) he comes back for the next 3 and wins them all , including the Pats in New England, loses one to the Rams and taken out by the Bills and is gone the rest of the year, but in those basically 6 games he took 27 sacks, Warner hadn’t taken more than 26 in a year (Full years) for his entire Cardinal Career, and I don’t know how many hits Kolb took after throwing. If Arizona had a halfway decent OL that kept Kolb on the field, the Cards could have been right up there with my hawks and the 9ers competing the whole year.

Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:06:47 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1817239#comment-2400710Looking at his Stats you see that what he was in Arizona was about what he did in Philly……..He is what his record says he is……….A back up QB. He really should have reduced his contract and accepted that role.

Corn on the Kolb is gonna be wearing New York green and white baby!!!!

And this excites you????

The Phoenix Cardinals and the NY Jets are two of the biggest train wrecks in pro football, maybe in pro sports period. If you think getting a retread, under achieving, overpaid QB from a team as desperate for a QB as the Cards are is an improvement for NY….well, heck….you could be right. And how sad is that?

What employer would pay a person millions of dollars if they missed work over half the time and were unable to perform the duties they were hired for? That the Cards even made him an offer should make him feel somewhat flattered. I think Kevin is probably a nice guy but just can’t stay healthy enough to pursue his chosen profession; it happens to a lot of people who don’t have millions stuck away as a safety net. He should take his pile of money and enjoy his family doing something he has a passion for that isn’t going to lead to permanent disability. It’s not like he doesn’t have many doors opened for him by just being in the NFL!

What word is “shoen “?

They are “shoen” Kolb the door, one might say. This’ll go down as a major QB trade fail, right up there with Matt Cassel to the Chiefs and McNabb to the Redskins.

In Japan (c. 8th–15th century), a private, tax-free, often autonomous estate. As the shoen increased in numbers, they undermined the political and economic power of the central government and contributed to the growth of powerful local clans. Landowners would commend their parcels of land to powerful families or religious institutions with tax-free status, thereby obtaining that status for themselves. All people connected with the land—the powerful patron, the owner, and the estate manager—had rights to part of the income from the land. During the Kamakura period (1192–1333), the shogunate (military government) asserted authority over the shoen by inserting its own stewards (jito) into each estate to collect taxes. During Japan’s Warring States period, the shoen gave way to consolidated landholdings controlled by daimyo (domain lords). See also samurai.

That actually describes NFL teams pretty well.

This was when Kolb first arrived in Philly and the article was basically a puff-piece comparing Kolb to the second coming of Brett Favre.

Hard to hold it against him for not going along with a reduced salary.

I think he is a back up for the remainder of his time in the NFL, however.
